tsi*	In this memoir, Meriel Buchanan (1886 - 1959) links the history of Russia to	o
	powerful, lingering memories of her years living there. She was the daughter of
	the man who turned out to be the last British ambassador to Imperial Russia. As a	■1
	young adult, in her role as the ambassador’s daughter, she had regular access to
	the court of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, providing her with unusual experiences	5T
	and impressions. She describes first hand the sights, sounds, and some of the	m
	activities she remembers from this elevated and sheltered vantage point. The	§
	family left Russia in 1918, and the author’s memories are filled with nostalgia and	a,
	longing for the Russia she experienced.
